DC Public School officials met with councilmembers Tuesday to discuss a scandal involving alleged grade fixing and changing of attendance records resulting in students graduating from high school without attending classes.

"We should not be graduating students who are functionally illiterate, and we are!," said Councilmember Mary Cheh, who reacted to a report on the DCPS.

The meeting comes amid a report released that alleges grade fixing in the city's public schools.
